Resurfacing: Staining Concrete

It used to be that only acid stains were available for decorative concrete finishes. Now we have a solution that is environmentally friendly and available in far more colors.

Stains are translucent products that add only color to the concrete. We use stains over bare concrete and our textured and overlay materials. Each job is unique, as the final outcome is determined by the reaction of the stain with the chemistry of the cement, its texture, porosity, the current temperature and humidity and several other factors. Stain is not paint; its unpredictable nature is what gives the finished surface its beautiful character. Stained floors can be scored with borders and patterns for contrasting and complementary colors and effect.

Proper preparation of the existing concrete is the key to a successful stain finish. If yours is a new project we can provide some helpful hints that will help to make the finished stained floors more even in appearance. The concrete will be ground and polished, then thoroughly cleaned before the finish work begins.

Imagine the possibilities with stained concrete!

I want to express to you and your crew my respect and admiration for the wonderful results you obtained on my upper and lower decks. You were presented some interesting challenges to say the least and the care you and your crew took with protecting my pool and house were truly appreciated by Jan and me. Your guys were not only very hardworking, but extremely professional as well. The results are clearly visible for all to see and Jan and I will be able to enjoy these outdoor living spaces far more now that you have worked your magic.
